About 2 a.m., Rosa appeared on a neighbor’s doorstep only partially clothed, banging on the door and calling out for help. The neighbor called 911.

The neighbor called again, 40 minutes later, to ask if police were coming. It wasn’t until 3:10 a.m. that the neighbor saw police checking out the area. And it took until 8:15 a.m., when the husband called police, that authorities found Rosa’s body. They arrested the husband, Christopher Perea, on suspicion of first degree murder.

We hope the court proceedings and internal affairs probe brings justice to this tragic situation.
